Eagle Scout paints park picnic tables

Vidhisha Chahande, 16, a sophomore at South Fayette High School, has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Scouts BSA organization.

She is the first female Eagle Scout from South Fayette, her family said.

Vidhisha Chahande, 16, designed and painted game boards on four picnic tables in Fairview Park.

A member of Troop 9228 based in Bethel Park, she is the daughter of Shashikant and Swati Chahande of South Fayette.

For the required community service project, Vidhisha painted game boards and colorful designs on four picnic tables in Fairview Park in South Fayette Township.

Game pieces will be available to borrow on site for pastimes such as checkers, chess and tic-tac-toe.

Vidhisha and 30 volunteers spent 170 hours working on the project.
